Umm, Rory, the terms of Peggy's will was there was a family holiday provided that *everybody* could go. I hope your credit card is full of gold. #TheArchers

Hardly! There is no farm to inherit. It's tenanted! #TheArchers

Thomas Shepherd @shepline.bsky.social · 1d

But that's exactly what did happen. Her father died as suddenly as they come! #TheArchers

I'm not saying that David is going to cark it, but the upcoming changes will be a catalyst to handing over the reigns. That, and David having had a wake up call to his own mortality and that doesn't want to "die with his boots on". #TheArchers

She's going, she's probably not thought that much about it and understandably not thinking that straight. #TheArchers

Why the hate suspicion towards Esme Mulligan and her late father? #TheArchers

Thomas Shepherd @shepline.bsky.social · 1d

The comment was about Mr Mulligan inheriting the farm from his Dad. Read back in the comment thread... #TheArchers

How do you know there is? The last rent might have been.paid and so the next hasn't fallen due. I'm also not sure how it works with tenant farms but back when Bridge and Grange Farms were written I think rent day might have been less frequent. #TheArchers

Aren't you forgetting Debbie? Oh no she's having too much in her punk rock band #TheArchers #RiotWomen

Thomas Shepherd @shepline.bsky.social · 1d

She's a relatively young woman, 40?, who's just lost her Dad and probably not thinking straight. Give her a break

If they have a family solicitor as you call it, and even if they did it might have changed hands several times over and the will could well be stored in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a Cheshire salt mine #TheArchers

Umm, maybe because she might not know! Not unreasonable! #TheArchers

I believe you you can inherit a tenancy. #TheArchers

Who established that? We've never had it established that he owned the land. There's clearly an inheritance tax story coming but it's a David / Ruth 75th anniversary story coming. David said tonight that Mulligan was a tenant farmer. #heArchers

Mulligan didn't own 120 acres. He farmed 120 acres. David said tonight he was a tenant farmer. #TheArchers

Entirely realistic.

Thomas Shepherd @shepline.bsky.social · 1d

So Mr Mulligan is a tenant farmer. Next question, who's the landowner, and who might be interested in a tenant farm? #TheArchers

She can rewild it and release Kirsty's beavers! 🦫 #TheArchers

Hasn't poor Esme suffered enough? She's just lost her Dad. Why would anyone wish Josh on her? #TheArchers
